You may agree but you're not right - the sale of Maple Leafs was not done intially to drain gold reserves - later maybe - but that was not the discussion point. And of course demand did not suck then. At that time total Canadian gold froduction was only a million or so ounces.

"but why aren't the european central banks that smart?" Thought they tried to introduce a Euro coin, or was it a Y2K coin? Either way it didn't work to well for Canada, why would it work for them? Isn't this why Peter Munk went to Euro-land to convince them to turn CB gold into coins, more then a few years ago? Or did he go to see how much he could get them to lease to him, and started to agressively forward sell. I really wonder why he really went... hmmmmm Maybe Ken comments are spot on.
